You can leave the \s! out and simply define "SerifSemiBold" if you want.
For other fonts you could have defined an enormous amount of different
synonyms, while you wouldn't have any shortcut such as \bi, \bs etc.
You can take a look at

Not so much about the idea, but just to get the idea how big the
families could be and how many names you would have to invent (it's in
the order of a few hundred if not more to be able to cover
everything).
And even then there would be no easy way to switch unless you know the
exact font name anyway.
Hans started some basic support (but it needs to be polished out a
bit). See for example
tex/context/fonts/antykwapoltawskiego.lfg
in your TeX tree.
